Holy cow! You updated. Looks like I have to go back and start over again. I remember this being one of the stories I checked regularly for updates. I haven’t read anything in the LOTR fandom in a long time but this is a story that could pull me back in. Glad you’re back writing. You elevate the fandom. (Sorry this isn’t an actual review but I was just excited about seeing your post).

Insane. I love this. I didn't read this when it first came out. I was far too young then but I read it some 6-7 years ago and decided to follow on the off chance that it might get continued. And now it is. just goes to show that holding out hope is never wrong.

im so happy to wake up and see that there was an update here!
my heart aches this chapter, and I can't wait to see what Aragorn and Merry do in this situation for Boromir and Gil. happy returns and hope you've been well!

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw that this got an update! I absolutely loved this story and The Captain and the King and I am so excited that there’s been an update and I can’t wait to see how this ends!

I would love to this to one day be finished, even though I know the chance is low. I’ve been reading your stories about Boromir non stop and as an avid Boromir fan, you have done some truly incredible work. I love it so much!

I love how Boromir listens to the stars. It's just such a great mental image, and I love the symbolism of stars in this story, especially how they tie him to Aragorn and Gil, later on.

I really love this story. Sometimes sequels to great stories fall short, or just kind of whither and die. But this one did not, and I've enjoyed it immensely. You did a great job with it. :) I love Boromir and Aragorn's friendship and loyalty especially, as well as the love and loyalty of Gil. You should finish this! It is such a great story, and deserves an ending. :)

Loved your story. :)

That said, there's nothing more aggravating than an unfinished story(especially one whose last update was 6 years ago). :(

*sigh*

Incredible story...beautifully written...I hope your muse visits you again and you finish such a lovely tale...

Wish there was more of this. :)

I know that it may be doubtful for this fic to continue, but just let me say that you certainly left enough of a story that my head is currently running itself ragged chasing down different endings that match up with the one in your earlier story.
Thank you for the wonderful tale, that was well written and well thought out.

Your Boromir is one of the best I've read so far, so brave and true, so enduring and prideful through it all. It was seriously painful to read all the things you did to him (really, he has the worst lot out of all your characters!) and it's even more painful to see the man who was once called one of the greatest swordsmen in Middle Earth unable to even walk on his own. But you've written a beautiful story nonetheless and I loved reading every word of it!
Really hope there's more to the tale (and more to his not-romance with Gil! I still don't understand why Aragorn did as he did in the epilogue of your previous story, not giving Boromir's son the title of Prince, instead taking it back and pretty much giving Gil and the other children no real standing at all!) but it's been three years, even if you don't post more, what you have here is more than amazing. Either way, thank you for writing such an amazing story!

Still hoping that you'll finish this story... Just re-read The Captain and the King, and this story, as I do whenever I long for more Boromir, and the book/movies aren't enough. I've tried to read other "Boromir lives" tales, but I've yet to find one I like to return to as I do this one. I beg of you to write more :)

Wonderful story. Pity it's unfinished. )-:
